The Audiovisual Identity Database is a online database consisting of logos, testcards, bootscreens, splash screens, commercial tags and company bumpers.
The website was formerly hosted on Yahoo! TV group site, until it was moved to Wikiproject, which in turn got closed down in 2020[1] and is currently hosted on Miraheze.
Currently, the Closing Logos Wiki name was still used for its archived website, closinglogos.com.
History
Originally, its closing logos were described and were put on the archive on KRS Logos, which was owned by Kris Starring. The wiki was known for the investigation of their very own The Incredible World of DIC "Globe in Space" variant from 2003, which was later found in April 2023, twenty years later as the "Speed-a-Thon" event on Speed Network (which the marathon aired Speed Racer) being resurfaced at the time.[2]
The KRS Wiki project was stopped around 2006, which received no updates at the time. The final page that the wiki have was the logo for CBS Paramount Television. This led to the full birth of Closing Logos Group in 2007.
The CLG Wiki site was created in 2007 on the Wetpaint system (now Wikifoundry). It was founded by a user named Silversword55.
On 4 May 2020, CLG Wiki was moved to Miraheze, following the closure of Wikifoundry, plus the overreliance of Wikifoundry's animation software Adobe Flash, and its then-ongoing disputes of Travis, the Wikifoundry owner of the time. On 1 June 2020, Wikifoundry was closed down; while its old elements were preserved on closinglogos.com, which had most of their pages ready for export, while some of them were not in action.[1]
On 9 September 2022, a incident was happened following the Board of Directors. After the incident, the same incident but was very small happened, with CuriousGeorge60 blocking HibiscusCrown20 and its alt Hb1290, and unblocking MathewLMayfield. It was reverted later by Agent Isai.[3]
On 27 September 2022, CLG Wiki was rebranded as AVID, during its overwhelming consensus.[4][5]
On 2 April 2023, the logo was once again changed, adding a purple gradient onto the AVID wordmark.[6]
